You'll manage cases end to end and will therefore be expected to use your commercial and analytical skills to identify key issues and propose commercial solutions for our clients and wherever possible, you will aim to obtain interim payments, so that we can put rehabilitation, a care package and suitable accommodation in place before claims are concluded.


As a team, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our clients and work across some really complex cases, so this is an excellent opportunity to join a thriving, supportive and highly experienced team.


About You


We're looking for a Solicitor who has a passion for medical negligence work and a proven experience working on high value matters. Our ideal candidate will have the following:


  • The ability to take instructions from clients and give sound legal advice;
  • Demonstratable technical experience gained within medical negligence;
  • Demonstrable experience assisting seniors across high value complex cases;
  • The ability to manage own caseloads whilst maintaining exceptional attention to detail and seamless service;
  • The ability to operate independently and work collaboratively as part of a team to deliver the best outcomes for our clients;


If this sounds like you, please hit the 'Apply Now' button to submit an application.


Our Benefits - What We Can Offer You


  • 25 days holidays as standard plus bank holidays - You can ‘buy’ up to 35hrs of extra holiday too.
  • Generous and flexible pension schemes.
  • Volunteering days – Two days of volunteering every year for a cause of your choice (fully paid)
  • Westfield Health membership, offering refunds on medical services alongside our Aviva Digital GP services.


We also offer a wide range of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace and to make sure you’re fully supported. This includes our Flexible by Choice programme which gives our colleagues more choice over a hybrid way of working subject to role, team and client requirements.


We have been ranked in the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing for Large Organisations for 2024


Our responsible business programmes are fundamental to who we are and our purpose. We’re committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish, and we have established a number of inclusion network groups across our business to support this aim.


Our commitment to Social Responsibility, community investment activity and tackling climate change is a fundamental part of who we are. It’s made up of four strands: Our People, Our Community, Our Environment and Our Pro Bono.
